Wonderful vintage photo of trailer parks in the USA in the 1950-60s

The appearance of the first examples of mobile homes, humanity owes to the wandering gypsies. Back in the 16th century, they traveled the world in their horse-drawn caravans.

Later similar mobile cloisters appeared in America. Here they began to gain popularity in the 1870s. And already more modern look of the house on wheels was acquired in 1926. They were called "trailers" and began to be trailers with cars. Over time, the trailers turned into full-fledged mobile homes, which became fashionable after the Second World War. Veterans returned home, needed housing and found that it was in short supply, and motor homes were a cheap and very affordable alternative. In addition, this type of home allowed families to travel with all amenities.

Mobile homes were often installed on rented land. These zones were called trailer parks. The owners of such plots of land quickly realized that, in addition to the space, they could provide their customers with basic utilities - water, sewer, electricity, gas, etc. After some time, even mowing the lawn, garbage collection and take a swim in the shared pool.

Today in the US there are thousands of parks for trailers. We suggest you look at how different and at the same time cool these zones could be several decades ago, when people just got into the taste of life on wheels.
